Last night was indeed a special night for Frontline Arlington as we came to the table shared in communion for the very first time as a body of believers. This act has always been and always will be a "family" affair. The actions of taking bread and taking wine, praying a blessing over them and passing them to those gathered around the meal table was something which happened in every Hebrew home and especially at Passover. In the New Testament at his "Last Supper"we see Christ giving this traditional act new significance and meaning by stating that the bread was his body broken and the wine his blood poured out. He then said these do in remembrance of me. I know we've been launched for over two months now, but for me there was something about last night's celebration of remembrance that solidified the family ties of our community in Arlington. It's my most memorable service to date and one I won't soon forget.
